Gordon University’s (RGU) Graduate
Apprenticeship (GA) in BEng (Hons) Engineering: Instrumentation,
Measurement and Control has been accredited by the Institute of Measurement
& Control (InstMC).
This
recognition highlights the programme's commitment to delivering high-quality,
industry-relevant education, equipping apprentices with the essential skills
and expertise needed in today’s evolving industrial landscape.
The
GA course provides the student with the knowledge, understanding and skills
required to become successful professional engineers within process related
industries. Students will learn how to apply their knowledge and skills to the
solution of real-world problems of designing, operating, and maintaining
industrial plants and equipment.
Dr
Judith Abolle, head of electronic and electrical engineering at the School of
Computing, Engineering and Technology, said: “This prestigious recognition
underscores the quality, industry relevance, and rigorous academic standards of
the program, ensuring that our apprentices are equipped with innovative skills
and knowledge for today's rapidly evolving industries.
"A huge thank you to
everyone involved in making this happen, from our dedicated course leader to
the industry professionals who collaborated with us throughout the process.
Together, we are shaping the future of engineering excellence.”
James
Philp, Course Leader for GA Instrumentation, Measurement and Control, said:
“The recognition provided to this course by the InstMC clearly demonstrates
quality of both the teaching we at RGU provide and that of the graduates we
produce.
"This achievement now makes this course the premier choice in the field
of Instrumentation, Measurement, & Control across the whole of Scotland.”
A
spokesperson for InstMC said: "The chair of the accreditation committee
of the institute noted that the accreditation panel was particularly impressed
with the excellent student support provided, and the well provisioned dedicated
laboratories.
"Additionally, the student individual learning plans produced at
the start of each module, and the tripartite mentoring that students received
from academics, industrial members and other students, were commended."
Established
in 1944, the InstMC is acknowledged as a learned society under a Royal Charter
and is licenced by the Engineering Council to evaluate individuals for
professional registration as Chartered Engineers (CEng), Incorporated Engineers
(IEng), and Engineering Technicians (EngTech).
It
aims to promote high standards of professional competence by informing and
supporting our members in their careers, as well as providing a bridge
between academic research and industrial practice.
